Description
A renowned author of popular historical publications will guide readers through medieval Prague in the footsteps of Charles IV. How did his contemporaries, courtiers, craftsmen, merchants, and pilgrims view the Father of the Fatherland? What abilities distinguished Charles IV as he motivated his subjects to work according to his vision during the 'dark' Middle Ages? And what was Prague like at the time when it set the tone for all of Europe? Accompanied by entries from old chronicles and the author's imagination, readers will discover both tangible and hidden things that give Prague its unique genius loci. This popular historical publication is richly illustrated with black-and-white photographs by Jiří Chalupa. The book is intended for adults and youth as a welcome supplement to school education.
